3 Career and Technology Education (CTE): Educating Tomorrow s Workforce Today Career Technology Education (CTE) provides high school and community college students an opportunity to pursue a sequential technical and academic program of study leading to advancement in a career field. High school CTE programs of study give students the opportunity to transition smoothly into further education or postsecondary education and to earn college credit and/or industry credentials in a career field of interest. Maryland leads the nation in the redesign of CTE programs as called for in the federal Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) works closely with the Governors Workforce Investment Board (GWIB) to identify new programs in response to Maryland s workforce development needs and to ensure all CTE programs of study keep pace with industry expectations and prepare students for their next steps toward college and careers. Career Clusters: The New Career Technology Education (CTE) MSDE in partnership with statewide industry advisory groups, identified ten (10) Career Clusters that represent core business functions across broad industry areas in Maryland. Business partners further identified career pathways based on the end-to-end business processes within career clusters. This representation of industry clusters and career pathways is provided in the MSDE publication Maryland Career Clusters: Restructuring Learning for Student Achievement in a Technologically Advanced, Global Society 1 and serves as a starting point for the identification of Maryland CTE programs of study. Career Clusters allow students to explore a wide range of career options and to apply academic and technical skills in a career area. Career Pathways are like road maps of learning that help students plan for and pursue further education and careers. Using the Career Clusters Framework to develop new CTE programs at the high school helps students gain a better understanding of the world of work and what is required to prepare for a career. Each Career Cluster includes at least two CTE program options for students to gain more advanced understanding and preparation for a career field. For example, the chart below depicts the wide range of career fields in the Arts, Media, and Communication industry in Maryland. Students may choose from three CTE programs or arts-based programs to further explore these careers. Maryland s CTE Career Clusters Arts, Media, and Communication Business Management and Finance Construction and Development Consumer Services, Hospitality, and Tourism Environmental, Agricultural, and Natural Resources Systems Health and Biosciences Human Resource Services Information Technology Manufacturing, Engineering, and Technology Transportation Technologies Industry Career Pathways High School Programs of Study Multimedia Production Interactive Media Production Graphic Design/Printing Film and Radio Broadcast Journalism Visual Arts Performing Arts Public Relations Graphics and Printing Communication Technology Communication and Broadcast Technology Art, Music and Drama courses and programs are offered through the high school art department. These are not CTE programs of study. 1 For more information about Maryland s Career and Technology Education programs, go to Click first on Divisions and then on Career and College Readiness. 1

4 The people of Maryland are our greatest asset, and our continued economic strength depends upon our ability to invest in them and prepare our children today for the jobs of tomorrow. - Governor Martin O Malley Maryland CTE Programs of Study Maryland CTE programs of study are statewide model programs designed to prepare high school students for the 21st Century s global economy and its rapidly changing workforce needs. All CTE programs are aligned to established academic and technical skill standards to ensure student preparation for college and careers. These programs also include work-based learning opportunities (e.g., internships, clinical experiences, or industry-mentored projects) tied to the student s area of interest. Upon completion of a Maryland CTE program of study, students also have the option to earn college credits and/or industry-recognized credentials such as certifications and licenses. The Maryland CTE programs of study outlined in this document serve as a resource for local school systems and their community college partners. The programs included in this document are MSDE-developed programs designed with state and national-level partners, are standardized across the state and include opportunities for state-wide professional development for teachers. For each Career Cluster, MSDE has identified several new Maryland CTE programs of study for development. Most of the programs listed have been completed and are offered throughout Maryland. However, several programs are currently under development. Please review the program descriptions for specific information regarding each Maryland CTE program of study. The Maryland State Department of Education, in collaboration with business, higher education, and local school systems provides guidance and support for the ongoing development of rigorous and relevant CTE programs of study that prepare students for both college and careers. Local school systems are encouraged to adopt the Maryland CTE programs of study outlined in this publication and to partner with higher education in supporting student transition to postsecondary education and careers. The MSDE is also collaborating with school systems, business and higher education to develop and expand CTE programs in high-demand careers, such as those in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Given that CTE programs are closely aligned with regional economic and work-force development priorities, not all high schools have programs in all career clusters. Based on local needs and opportunities, each school system decides which clusters and corresponding CTE programs to offer. For more information about local CTE programs of study, please contact the local school system or go to for a link to the school district s web site. Preparing Today for the Jobs of Tomorrow CTE programs are designed to support students in making decisions about education and career options. While students generally enroll in a CTE program in 10th or 11th grade, career exploration begins far earlier. In middle school, students participate in careerawareness activities for example, field trips, job-shadowing, interest inventories and develop high school plans, mapping out academic coursework and career options. Today, high school students face many options for academic growth and career exploration. Making informed choices about their high school program of study will prepare them for success in further education and lead to a rewarding career. Students may learn more about career opportunities for Maryland graduates at Program Highlight: Career Research and Development (CRD) To support students in learning about careers, work-based learning opportunities are made available to all CTE students. Supervised work-based learning experiences allow high school students on-the-job training related to their career choice. Students may also elect to complete the work-based learning CTE program, Career Research and Development (CRD). The program is designed to link the classroom with specific work experiences and includes two school-based courses followed by at least two work-based learning credits (generally in the last year of high school). These experiences are organized around a work plan that is cooperatively developed by the school coordinator and employer to add value to and extend a student s career preparation. Students in CRD can be placed in positions related to any of Maryland s 10 career clusters. 2

Currently, 21 school systems offer the program which is focused on increasing the number of students prepared for college and STEM-related careers specifically women and minorities who are underrepresented in the field. Nationally, the benefits of the program are: PLTW alumni are 5-10 times more likely to be studying engineering and technology. PLTW students have a higher retention rate in college engineering and science programs 97% of PLTW seniors intend to pursue a four-year degree or higher, whereas the national average is 67%.
